Mar 19, 2014 10:13 PM in response to peter aagaardby DustyStorm,Same issue Here, since latest update. No DD on Netflix even though it is enabled in audio settings. Everythingg seems to play in stereo. Worked before the update, I was able to get surround sound on most videos. Anyone find a fix to this?

Mar 20, 2014 9:44 AM in response to peter aagaardby pedx1ng,I am having this same issue with no Dolby Digital in Netflix. I have not tried iTunes. My setup is: Apple TV 3 firmware 6.1, Yamaha RX-V373 receiver, HDMI connection.
However, I found that if I AirPlay from the Netflix app on my retina iPad Mini, Dolby Digital works!! Very strange.
Another thing I tried was using the digital optical out of the Apple TV instead of HDMI but was unsuccessful.

Mar 20, 2014 11:24 AM in response to peter aagaardby JornDL,Hi
I have the same problem.
No Dolby Digital over SPDIF on Apple TV 3 with the latest firmware on Netflix or iTunes.

Mar 20, 2014 11:42 AM in response to peter aagaardby mikefromenglewood,I was able to get Dolby Digital through the iTunes Festival SXSW app. Still no Netflix though...

Mar 20, 2014 1:30 PM in response to mikefromenglewoodby nobblydog,Ok - three chats with Netflix support and its pretty clear its update 6.1 that has screwed the Dolby support.
As pedx1ng found above, playing a title over Airplay from an iphone / ipad gets you the full 5.1 - go figure!

Mar 20, 2014 6:29 PM in response to peter aagaardby Jk5114,I can also confirm that this issue. Netflix no loner outputs Dolby over my optical connection with the 6.1 update.

Mar 20, 2014 9:59 PM in response to nobblydogby er1c15,So I'm joining this thread from one of the other threads out there about this topic.
I can also confirm this strange phenomenon. My Apple TV is connected to my tv via HDMI, then HDMI again to my receiver. I initially thought it might be the tv having problems relaying the DD signal, but I tried a direct HDMI connection from Apple TV to receiver.
The only odd thing I must mention is that I had early signs of this problem several weeks ago (I'm not sure when I actually updated the Apple TV). Netflix would play DD for about 5-10 minutes, and then cut out completely.
Now, however, Netflix will just play in pro-logic even though the movie is DD and the option in settings is ON.
While it seems that the update might be the problem, it might also be that Netflix hasn't updated their app for the new Apple TV software... Kind of like how an app on an iPhone won't work until that app is specifically updated after an iOS update is released.
I know I'm not giving the solution, but I think that the thought of the Netflix app being the problem might be an interesting thought for us all.

Mar 21, 2014 3:16 AM in response to peter aagaardby Interceptor121,So who is maintaining this app? I would say apple as it is provided out of the operating system?
